December 1963(Oh What a Night!)-Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons-Lyrics

we rushed to the stores for this one.  Best arrangement, what do you think?

Casinos - Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye (RARE clip)

I would get my paycheck and head for the record store, when these great songs where played on the radio! 

Mel Carter - Hold Me Thrill Me (Best Quality)

another song that caused records to fly off the shelves, in the days when we had downtown record stores...

DON McLEAN: "SINCE I DON'T HAVE YOU" (1981)

a more recent recording...and very nice.  See how the song can easily suit your voice.

The Skyliners - Since I Don´t Have You (Live 1974)

Teenagers in love, flocked to the record stores to buy this album.  Hopefully a voice of today will bring this gem back!

Della Reese - Don't You Know? ("Puccini")

This was her song!  Everything was right, the voice and the arrangement fit the words, and the mood of the song.

Slim Whitman - Indian Love Call

it isn't often that you can enjoy yodeling, but Slim Whitman was a master of singing with the yodel.

Slim Whitman,I remember you

I like the homespun feel of this and the upbeat tempo.  Slow it down and its too soupy...this is when country was starting to be mainstream I think and this was one of the songs that brought country forward.

" I REMEMBER YOU " TONY BENNETT ARRANGED BY JOHNNY MANDEL

This is such a great song, it needs to be recorded it again. I have posted it by Frank Ifield, who had a monster hit with it, and also by Slim Whitman.  Find the right arranger, who steps it up in tempo, and it could be a monster hit...once again.

Tell Me Why By The Four Aces

Oh!  To be a teenager in love...we were the first teens in the 1950's ,thats when the word was coined!

George Harrison - My Sweet Lord

What a talent, sorely missed, one of my all time favorite songs.

I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire-The Ink Spots

Coming back with the great Ink Spots....who I thought would live forever, as movies and radio appeared to a child.

Me & Mrs. Jones - Michael Buble

Michael working hard, singing another of my favorites.

Michael Bublé - The Way You Look Tonight

Singing one of my favorite songs, our great Michael Buble.  Has anyone stopped to think how hard it is to sing and make it sound so easy?

Quando, quando, quando.

Joss Stone - Son of a Preacher Man

Wow!  What a voice, shades of Dinah Washington....not quite the timbre, but she is wonderful

ONCE IN A WHILE - THE CHIMES.wmv

A wonderful song from the past, and a group that had many hits in that time. 

DINAH WASHINGTON - Sometimes I'm happy.wmv

Today on Siriusly Sinatra, perfect timing, perfect voice, perfect song for Dinah, I wanted to keep it playing over and over....it got me through aggrevation between a pesky fly, a slow computer and bill paying! Ha ha, so try it....Dinah! Buy her records, so she does not disappear.!
